Boatnt,

I'm not familiar with the pantheon of Fountain models, so this is a genuine question...

How is a 29' inherently fast than a 27'? This goes against everything I think I know about boats. Was the 27 a comparative dud? The 29 just rocking it? Or is it assumed the 29 would be a twin? This is where my head is, given you stated that a 33 would be faster than a 27.

Just wondering....

Thanks. Brad.

27 vs 29.

has to do with the hull design , attached link has a lot of good info

Thanks. Brad.

Not the first time Fountain’s larger model is faster than the smaller sibling.
I owned a 34’ CC with triple 275 Verados. Factory quoted speeds of 68mph +. Same power on the 38, they quoted 72mph +.

Real world speeds from owners confirmed the 38 had an extra few mph. The 38 was longer wider and heavier but still faster. I think buoyancy on the wider hull played a part. I really enjoyed my 34, but was always left wondering, how good the 38 must have been.

Probably a single. Bay looks too tight for my preference for another twin. Keep me in mind if something comes up, am partial to the American flag themed hull.

RR,

Yup. Read that in the link that was posted. I makes sense now. Balance, hull design often outweigh the effects of drag due to weight. It's almost like the 27 was a ranging shot, and the 29 hit the target, and likewise with other examples.

Thanks. Brad.

Curious abt what you mean by "bay looks too tight"
I have a twin eng 29. Its not really for sale but everything has its price.

I'm not against a twin, though was gravitating towards a single. If you're interested in selling, shoot me a PM and happy to take a look.

If you looking for a 29 or smaller I would get a single. Just my 02
